reverse tilt hood-no limit

Hi there,can anybody help me out with construction on a reverse tilt hoodsystem on my 56 F100.I live in the Netherlands and I'm having big problems with the original hinges and would like to change to the "no-limit" reverse tilt hood design.Because of the costs(I am dutch) I would like to copy the "no-limit" system but I need a template for the strange formed guides that mount inside the hood and for the roller mounts that come in place of the old hinges.I also need the length of the two pieces of tubing that are welded to the pivot bar and that makes the hood pulled upwards and forward.
Is there anybody who can tell me wich system works better:the "no-limit"system or the "classicperformance"system,the one with the rollerguides on the inside of the fender?
I would appreciate it if anyone can help me on the way with some advice and the right measurements.

Thanks Paul.
